Not just to you. Sadly, I've done it with expensive beans. Now, I don't load the hopper anymore until the cyclone, roaster and laptop are ready to go; including an extra check to make sure the roaster door is well and truly closed.

Ugh definitely experienced the result of not checking that. Beans ready? Check. Perfect pre-heat temp? Check. Dumped the beans in, and they immediately spew out all over my counter and floor.

Sofar, and I know it's only a matter of time before something worse happens, I've dumped 1/3 batch of roasted beans on the floor because I dropped the roast into the cooling bin with the cooling bin door open. Not cool!
